The story

This is how it starts

Before completing the first circumnavigation of the globe, Ferdinand Magellan falls to a spear on the island of Mactan — taking with him the secret that Juan Sebastián Elcano so desperately seeks.

Elcano knew of the friendship between Magellan and Ponce de León, and is convinced the secret is tied to legendary voyages.

Just before setting sail from the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda toward the Spice Islands, a sailor informs you that you will gain access to Magellan's old quarters aboard the nao Victoria. Barely touched since the explorer's death, it falls to you to fulfil Elcano's orders: find the secret Magellan guarded so jealously, and deliver it before the ship reaches the next port.

Before you come

Worth knowing in advance.

  • Not recommended for under-16s. From 12 they can play with an adult along; below that, no.
  • Three players minimum. If there are two of you, Chicken Rebellion is your room.
  • Up to 7 players on request, though the experience suffers at that number.
  • Not adapted for people with reduced mobility.
  • Wear comfortable clothes.
  • A positive attitude (and 16th-century attire) is optional, but both help.
FAQ

What people ask about Magellan's Secret.

Because the room needs it. It is longer and harder than the others, with an investigation that needs room to breathe. It is not padding: most groups use every minute.

No. The 16th-century setting is carefully built, but everything you need to solve it is inside the room. Nobody is going to ask you for Magellan’s or Elcano’s dates.

We do not recommend it for under-16s: it is our hardest room and it can frustrate younger players.

That said, 12 and over can play as long as an adult comes along. If you are unsure, Chicken Rebellion is a far better way in for a group with kids.

No. Magellan’s Secret takes three to six players: it cannot be played as a pair.

It is our hardest room, ninety minutes built for several heads splitting the work, and between two there is simply too much to look at.

If there are two of you, your room is Chicken Rebellion: it plays well as a pair and the comedy helps when you get stuck.

Hemos realizado más de 20 escape rooms y, aun así, nos ha sorprendido en positivo. Hemos hecho El Secreto de Magallanes. El Game Master Mateo hace que la experiencia sea mucho más vivida. La escenografía y la dinámica de las pruebas, de 10 también. ¡Repetiremos!

Increíble experiencia para mi primer escape room. Fuimos un grupo de 6 personas a hacer El Secreto de Magallanes y la ambientación es espectacular. Mateo hace un trabajo de diez metiéndote en el papel.
